Description

A PROCESS FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE NUCLEIC ACID CONTENT OF A FUNGUS IMPERFECTUS
THIS INVENTION relates to the production of food.
It is known to produce food suitable for consumption by humans by culturing fungi. Suitable fungi are microfungi of the class Fungi Imperfecti. A process of this type is described in British Patents Nos. 1,210,356 and 1,346,062 and strains of Fusarium for use in food production are described in British Patent 1,346,061 and in US Patent 4,347. In order to render such products more suitable for consumption by humans it is considered desirable to reduce their nucleic acid content. British Patent No 1,440,642 discloses a process in which this is achieved by subjecting Fungi Imperfecti to a temperature of 55 to 72°C for a period of at least 60 seconds at a pH of 4.7 to 7.0. This temperature was apparently selected because ribonuclease survives such conditions whereas protease is destroyed; thus the protein content of the fungus would not be degraded by protease but the ribonucleic acid would be degraded by the ribonuclease. The process is disclosed as producing a final RNA content of 1 to 4% from organisms originally containing 7 to 12%. In certain instances RNA contents of the product of less than 1% were disclosed. In the experiments described fungi were generally separated from their growth media and heated in the presence of water or aqueous solutions of NaCl or NH4C1 under various conditions. In example J however the fungi were heated in the presence of their growth medium to a temperature of 64°C, filtered, washed, reslurried in water and spray dried. The effect of temperature and duration of heat treatment is shown in Example A of British Patent No 1,440,642. In no case of treatment above 66°C was the final RNA content below the 2% by weight level, which figure was not corrected for biomass loss. The figure based on the final product after biomass loss would have been higher.
The above process suffers considerable loss of proteinaceous material however. We have now devised a process in which any loss of ribonuclease activity does not prevent a satisfactory reduction in nucleic acid content.
We have now found that it is possible to carry out effective removal of RNA with less loss of protein by operating at higher temperatures in the range of over
68°C to 80°C, preferably 69 to 75°C and more preferably 70 to 74°C for example above 72 up to 74°C providing that the fungus is raised to such temperatures in the presence of its growth medium. It is not known why this phenomenon occurs, but it may be that the fungus in its growing state is more susceptible to RNA loss on heating and that maintaining it in contact with its growth medium to the treatment temperature maintains it in its susceptible state. The invention comprises a process in which the nucleic acid content of Fungi Imperfecti is reduced which comprises growing it in the presence of a growth medium, raising its temperature in the presence of the growth medium to above 68°C and preferably at most 80°C for example 69 to 75°C, preferably 70 to 74°C and more preferably above 72°C to 74°C and separating at least part of the growth medium from the fungus. Nucleic acid passes from the fungus to the growth medium and the treated fungus has a reduced nucleic acid content. The process permits a high retention of fungal components of nutritional value especially protein. It is believed that protein is retained more readily because during nucleic acid removal it is in a substantially coagulated state. At temperatures higher than 80°C the coagulation of proteinaceous material can occur sufficiently rapidly to impede adequate loss of nucleic acids and at temperatures lower than 68°C it is generally insufficient to prevent a substantial loss of protein. The nucleic acid content of the treated fungus is preferably at most 3% or more preferably at most 2% by weight, for example about 1% by weight.
The fungus is suitably an edible strain of Fusarium, for example Fusarium graminearium, Fusarium oxysporum or Fusarium solani. Fusarium graminearium Schwabe IMI 145 425 deposited with the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureau, International Mycological Institute (IMI) , Ferry Lane, Kew, Surrey, TW9 3AF on 26 February 1970 and 3 February 1979, has been approved for use in foodstuffs by the regulatory authorities in UK and may be treated by this invention.
The process may be carried out under a wide range of conditions. The pH and constitution of the growth medium should be such that growth of the fungus in it can occur at normal temperatures but if desired it can be modified in the process; for example if heating takes place by steam injection the steam may contain an acidic or alkaline gas, for example S02 or NH3. A pH during the nucleic acid removal of 4 to 8, preferably 4.5 to 7 and more preferably 5 to 6.5 is however desirable. Rapid heating from the growth temperature (which is normally below about 30°C for example 28°C) to the nucleic acid removal temperature is preferred. Suitably such heating should be rapid, preferably taking less than five seconds, more preferably less than one second. The product may be washed to remove residual nucleic acids in adhering growth medium but this is not essential if most of the growth medium is removed for example by drainage or filtration.
EXAMPLE Fusarium Graminearum IMI 145,425 was grown in a continuous fermenter at 28°C in the presence of a growth medium of the following composition at a dilution rate of 0.16 to 0.23/h maintaining a dry cell weight of 14.5g/kg in the fermenter, and with continuous aeration with sterile air containing ammonia gas.

The pH was controlled at 6 by the continuous addition of ammonia gas. The phosphorous was supplied as phosphoric acid, the calcium as the acetate and other salts as the sulphates.
Culture at 28°C is passed into a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) with the temperature maintained at the temperature shown in the tables below by direct steam injection. The culture is then maintained at this temperature in the tank for a mean residence time of 30 to 45 minutes. The output from the tank was fed to a belt filter from which a wet product containing greater than 20% total solids is removed, as assessed by drying for 24 hours at 105°C. It has a nucleic acid content of less than 2% on a dry weight basis as seen from the following tables of results. No washing was carried out. The process was continuous and samples were taken daily. Two production runs were carried out and the results are presented in the following tables. The data at the end of each 24 hour period are recorded vertically and sequentially in the tables. Run 1

The example below, from plant trial, shows the influence of nucleic acid removal at 73.25°C and 64°C on biomass loss. A clear fall is seen after the reduction temperature is increased. The data are recorded hourly. It is believed that the first result after reducing the temperature to 64°C was influenced by the carry-over of material processed at 7314°C.

# Believed high due to analytical/sampling error or recording error.
** Corrected for steam dilution. At 64°C 60.2 of bar g steam per kg culture is required for heating. At 73.25°C (the average logged temperature during the trial) 75.33 of 4 bar g steam per kg culture is required. To allow for this the reduced culture dry weights are multiplied by 1.0602 and 1.0754 respectively, before calculating biomass losses.
